Similar to vertical compression faults, strike-slip faults (also known as transcurrent, wrench, or lateral) release their energy by shifting rocks in a horizontal direction that is nearly parallel to the compressional force.
What is a fault's displacement?
The cumulative motion of the hanging wall over the footwall causes displacement even though slip along the fault changes instantly at the fault bend.
Are faults displaced-showing?
Over geologic time, most faults cause repeated displacements. The rock on one side of the fault abruptly slips in relation to the other during an earthquake. The fault surface may be vertical, horizontal, or at any other arbitrary angle.
